The caro -which the cream receives

wbuld reduce his choring to a system
taake every step count he could do
the work in much less time. He
thought not, but a week afterward he
had studied the matter over some and
had worked the problem eo as to re
duce the time about cae-fourth and. he
felt satisfied tha't he could reduce it
still more. He said it never had oc
curred to him that feeding and chor
ing could be so systematized as to
make them almost. machine work: He1
said he used to do 'bne'tliing without

could do one chore while on his way

Dca't focdlo and pet the young colt.
Treat him kindly but firmly, and have
him come to look for some little tit-hit

The farm without a good orchard is
lacking in one of the most important
conditions for the comfort of the fam
ily and the profit of the farmer.
A stubborn man is apt to make a
stubborn horse. ICo man ever ought to
try to break a colt who is not master,

the trick, but it rays in the end.
Keep the stalls clean. Horses can
not rest on corn cobs and other rub
bish any more than could you. Give
clean straw or sawdust and be sure
there are no hard lumps underneath.
Why not get a pair of scales, a Bab
cock tester and a score sheet and keep
track of what each cow is doing in
the way of milk yield? It is the only
way ycu will ever be able to weed
out the unprofitable cows.
Do not forget to give the chickens
green food during the winter. Any
thing in 'the way of roots is good.
Try a turnip nailed to a board, or a
beet or carrot hung from the ceiling
and far enough from the floor to give
the hens a little exercise in pecking
at the swinging vegetable.
Ground corn with the cob makes the
best feed for stock, for pure com meal
is too heavy, but the ground cob gives
it the right bulk to overcome this.
Besides feeders have learned not to
grind as fine as they used to. Crack
ing the kernel from five to seven times
is the standard rule, which mushes the
cob fine enough to make it palatable.
The government had on exhibition
at the Omaha corn show a still for
the making of denatured alcohol out

bureau of chemistry and proved of
great interest to the farmers, who it
is fair to assume will one of these
days be running their gas engines, au
tomobiles and the-kitchen ranges with
the stu3 that used .to be practically
thrown away.
The planters of orchards should bear
in mind that the reason for cultivating
corn, trees, or any other crop is not
merely to keep the weeds down, but
also to maintain the soiL in a loose,
friable condition so air can circulate
freely and thus -supply - the oxygen
needed for the roots as well as by the
coil bacteria, to prevent unnecessary
evaporation from the soil and to
.maintain it in a porous condition so it
'can soak up every drpp of rain that
fails on it.

Thinning fruit on trees is an excel
lent practice, it is a well-known fact
that thefruit tree will set more fruit
than it is capable of supporting and
bringing -to perfection. To aid nature
in its work, growers should take away
the extra fruit. The vitality of the tree
is used up by the number of seeds it
it permitted to ripen, not by the size
of the fruit. It is "readily seen that
by removing some of-the-fruit we con
serve the fertility -of the land, as well
as aid the tree to properly mature the
remaining fruit. A tree that has thus
been thinned will bring forth '-more
fruit per bushel than-other trees, and
beside this, the fruit from thinned
trees is superior in color, size and
quality. Such thinning should not- be
done, how.ever, until the natural drop

weather the young weaned pigs must
not only have good shelter from rain

ance of it. Wheat or oat straw free
of dust or mold is good, and enough
of it should be supplied so that the
little animals can literally cover up

cold weather. Pigs will' cover them
selves with it, come out into the cold

A certain well-known society girl
who is noted fcr the freshness of her
complexion and the general air of rest
fulness and well being that seems to
emanate from her was recently asked
to tell the secret ! how she managed
to keep so well, jjhe answered non
chalantly: "I just sleep and I sleep right."
Naturally her words aroused some
curiosity, and a discussion followed as
to just what was meant by the words
"sleeping right." After listening for
some time to the conjectures and
questions of the group of girls with
whom she was conversing, the girl
whose careless words had set the ball
of conversation rolling condescended
to explain.
"In the first place," she said, "I
sleep with the windows open. Noth
ing is worse for one's health and good
looks than sleeping in a room where
the windows are closed and the air is
impure. Then I sleep on a bed tnat
is hard rather than soft. Too soft a
bed is enervating.
"Then I sleep on a pillow that is
hard and small. I am careful to be
warmly covered, but I have the cover
ings light of weight and pliable. It is
better to have lighter covers and
more of them than two or three heavy
horse blankets that tire the body
merely by resting on it.
"No matter how late I get home, I
always follow out a regular program
before I am settled for the night. I,
first of all, take a warm bath. Then
I rub down well with Turkish towels.
When I am all aglow I slip on gown
and bathrobe, put my feat into warm
slippers, and then drink a cup of hot
milk and eat a cracker or two.
"Next I massage my face for about
five minutes with cold cream. I put
another five minutes into the work of
brushing my hair vigorously. Then
I am ready for bed, clean, warm, and
well fed,
"I know that sometimes one feels
too tired to get ready to sleep right.
One comes home fagged out, and the
one thought in the mind is to get into
bed as quickly as is possible. This
is all wrong. I have done this and
have found that after I was once un
der the covers I was incapable of
sleeping. I was cold, nervous, and
had a wretched feeling that my face
was dirty and my hair tousled. After
a few of these nights I made up my
mind that, no matter how late the
hour or how tired I felt, I would get
ready for bed in a proper manner and
sleep right.
"As a rule, I sleep about nine hours,
and I find that I do not feel right un
less I get fully this much rest. Sleep
is not only the power that keeps me
well and full of energy, it is my medi
cine. No matter how poorly I am
feeling, a good, sound sleep will usual
ly set me right."
This girl has, in reality, solved the
problem of right living. Physicians
agree that sleep does more for the
human body than any other one thing.
Therefore, if a weman would be beau
tiful, and well, and a pleasant person
to have about, she must sleep and
sleep right.
Gowns Made with Shawls.
Since the coming in of the tunic
fashion it is surprising how many
gowns are made of shawls. Those of
white Chinese crepe, embroidered or
plain, are the ones used. The long
fringe is left iritact.
It is not much trbuble to make these
gowns because so much of the drapery
is now in the shawl fashion. The top
part is run on a bias line after the
Greek method, with a large buckle or
jeweled ornament at the right shoulder,
and the fringe is left as an edge.
The tunic has fringe on it also, and
under tbis is a long' simple skirt of
white crepe de chine, without trim
ming. The top part is of sequined net
or plain tulle.

There is quite "a fashion for wearing a wide triple bow of soft satin or
silver or gilt gauze in the hair. This sketch shows just how this is adjusted.
The double fillet is of thin silver and goes half way round the head, bringing
the triple bow of silver gauze at the side of the head back of the ear. This is
a very pretty ornament, and is usually most becoming to any girlish face.

of any. desired size, butdhose which
hold baby ribbon are best.
The rims of the spools are finished
in gold or silver paint and the bodyt
covered with a gay 'bit of brocade, or,'
a bit of silk hand-painted or jmbroid-'
ered. As there is no strafn on the
outer part of the spoon, the covering
can easily be pasted. ' "
Narrow ribbons "are tied to each end
to form a loop by whichthe holder is
suspended. These are finished at the
top with a small rosette. Through the
heart of the spool is thrust a core of
cork or of wool, through which the

Fancy lamp shades have assumed an
almcst,stralght side line instead, of the
slant .which once; characterized- these
dainty"trifles of silk, brocade and flow
ers. Among the newest French shades
is one resembling a section of a cylin
der having the outside covered with
Milan lace, in a rich yellow tint, with
a lining of rose-colored silk. Tiny rose
satin flowers border the top, which is
finished with .an edge of gold lace with
fringe added to the bottom. Each
quarter of the shade has a vertical row
of tiny silk roses reaching its entire
height. These are placed in double
rows in rather a .conventional styie
without giving a stiff look to the use
ful ornament.
For a dinner table shade there is
nothing more attractive and pleasing
than one cf rose-colored silk fulled
over the frame and with a narrow gilt
galloon at the upper and lower edges.
Then over the shirred silk goes a lat
tice' of harrow gold ribbon with gold
sequins holding the intersections of
the ribbons together.
Gold passementerie Imparts a dainty
touch to a dinner candle shade which
has the frame covered with gold-colored
silk shirred on rather full and the
top and bottom edges finished with
gilt lace. Festoons of tiny gilt roses
add a rich touch to this ornament. The
flowers are draped in shallow curves,
with long dangling fringes or ropes of
roses trailing down the frame, where
the festoons are caughts up to the top
of the shade.
Flowered silk ribbon or material by
the yard can be converted into most
delightful lamp shades by shirring a
width or length of it over a firm wire
frame and lining the shade with a thin
plain-colored silk. Before sewing on
the passementerie a short silk fringe
can be fastened around the bottom and
then an inch-wide silk or gilt galloot
be sewed over this, with passemen
terie ornaments decorating the upper
part at intervals.
For a more elaborate and less sub
stantial shade they are using tulle
shirred very full over silk with fringes
for the bottom and passementerie trim
ming the top in a deep band. The cen
ter of the shade is decorated with
handsome passementerie in an arbor
effect, and the whole shade is then
lined with rose or gold silk. There arc

WASHINGTON. When Theodore
Roosevelt retires from the presi

have made a record for numerous cab
inet appointments. The last cabinet
meeting he presides over will be com
posed almost solely of comparatively
new men. There will be but one man.
Secretary Wilson, who attended the
first cabinet meeting that Rcbsevelt
held in the autumn of 1901. There
will be only one other. Secretary of
the Treasury Cortelyou, who was at
the cabinet table in March, 1905, when
Mr. Roosevelt entered upon his pres
ent term.
In the seven and a half years of his
tenure, Mr. Roosevelt will have had
29 different cabinet officers, but not
as many different men, for Mr. Root
has served under him first as secre
tary of war and then as secretary of
state. Mr. Cortelyou has had three
cabinet positions under Roosevelt
commerce and labor, post office and

Amusing Stories
A GOOD deal of amusement was cre

brought to the attention of the com
mittee, stating that "the ways and
means committee, which is now en
gaged in the task of framing a bill to
protect American industries, had pur
chased toweling bearing the mark.
"Made in Great Britain." The clip
ping was passed along to the commit

this vcrd down to a member ot the

THE end of the romance of Kather
ine Elkins and the duke of the
Abruzzi is to be like the final chapter
of an old-fashioned novel, in which the
heroine flees with her jnemories to
convent walls and the hero betakes
himself and his wounded heart to the
wilderness of the world to seek for
getulness. The authoritative announcement
that there would be no marriage be
tween Miss Elkins and the Italian
prince and cousin of a king was hard
ly cold when the cable brought from
Rome the report that the duke was
planning to be off to the unexpired
mountain fastnesses cf India.
Subsequent dispatches have con
firmed that repoit, and ever since
Washington has been wondering what
the young woman would do, it being
assumed that her affections had been
as deeply wounded as her royal suit
or's by the breaking of the engage
ment. It is now learned that "Miss Elkins'
attitude toward society for the next
six months at least, and perhaps
longer, will be more serious than was
anticipated.

been two secretaries of state Hay

that Secretary Root is to resign as
soon as he is elected to the senate
from New York and that Assistant
Secretary- of State Robert Bacon of
New York and Boston will succeed
him assures three secretaries of state
during President Roosevelt's time.
Mr. Roosevelt has also had three sec

three secretaries of commerce and two
secretaries of tlie interior.
Grover Cleveland, the only other
president since Grant's time who has
served two terms, had but 23 cabinet
officers. Thej- were in two adminis
trations, separated by a four-year pe
riod. In each of hi3 administrations
most of the men who came into office
with him remained at bis cabinet
table till the close of the four years

elected. But cne of the changes in
Mr. Roosevelt's cabinets has been on
account of death, and that was in the
state department.
When Mr. Bacon becomes secretary
of state three of the nine members of
the last Roosevelt cabinet will be
men who were favorites at tennis and
have been counted as members of the

on Matrimonial Sea
This Is Mr. Gibson's second venture
on the sea of matrimony. In 1900 he
married Miss Minna Field, daughter
of Henry Field of Chicago aud niece
cf Marshall Field, the merchant dry
goeds prince. Their wedding eight
years ago was the result of a ro-
kmance dating from their meeting in
school, but the marriage turned out
unhappily and two years ago Gibson
and his first wife were divorced.
Short! afterward she married Alger
non Burnaby, a member of the British
"smart set." and they are living in
Licesiershirc.
After his divorce Preston Gibson
took up his residence permanently in
Washington and at once became pop
ular in the set which comprises some
of the best known beaux and belles of

known author of Kentucky stories.
Gibson has dramatic talents, and took

pers which places the kaiser in a
somewhat curious light. Recently he
visited a theater and strolling behind
the curtain became liberal of ad'ice
to the managers, actors and even
scene shifters, who listened in awed
silence. Presently the emperor lighted
a cigar, puffing as he talked. On both
sides cf him were flimsy draperies and
on the floor heaps of paper.
One of the scene shifters stepped
forward and pointed politely to a
printed notice: "No smoking allowed."
For a moment the kaiser Hushed, then
smiling, he put out his cigar, remark
ing as he did so: "Thank you, friend.
It would be bad business if your em
peror taught you to disobey the law."
Forget the Bitter Past.
There had been a fire in the apart
ment building, with heavy loss of prop
erty and many narrow escapes.
"Were there any acts of conspicuous
heroism?" queried the reporters.
"Yes," said one of the victims. "With
a self-abnegation never before wit
nessed in a case of thi3 kind, sir, we
all turned in and helped to carry out
the piano that was on. the second
floor."

The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great Im
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all Injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as a stlffen

Starch necessary, with the result of.
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.
Used Dolls to Set Fashions.
Long before women's newspapers
were started, and fashion plates In
their modern form were thought of.
women derived their knowledge of the
fashions from dolls dressed in modern
costumes, which were sent from one
country to another, more especially
from Paris, which then, as now, was
tho leading center of the mode.
